Steve Earle Announces Massive North American Tour

Official Announcement | Published: Feb 18, 2026 11:05 AM EST

(SFM) GRAMMY award-winning singer, songwriter, author, actor, and activist Steve Earle announces he will return to the road in 2026 with Steve Earle: Fifty One Years of Songs and Stories, an expansive North American tour spanning more than 70 performances across the United States and Canada from February through November.

Among the many highlights, Earle - recently inducted as the Grand Ole Opry's newest member - returns to the Opry House in Nashville on February 21 alongside The Oak Ridge Boys, followed by another Opry appearance on March 17. He will also perform two special nights at New York City's Gramercy Theatre on February 27 and March 13, and take the stage at Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium on May 31. Other special engagements include a slot on the Outlaw Country Cruise 2026, which sets sail out of Miami, FL on March 20. Not to mention, the acclaimed troubadour will appear at New Orleans Jazz Fest, and Pickathon, among others. In select cities that previously hosted his "51" concept performances, Earle will deliver entirely new setlists and special programming.

Artist presale begins Wednesday, February 18 at 10:00 AM local time, followed by venue and promoter presales on Thursday, February 19 at 10:00 AM local time. Earle's confirmed schedule from February-November, 2026 is enclosed below. For tickets and additional information, visit: https://www.steveearle.com/

Americana Highways hailed Earle's recent Milwaukee show as "an evening of raw performances and insightful commentary," going on to assure, "Earle had reminded Milwaukee why his songs - and the stories behind them - endure after fifty years." Plus, Parklife DC raved, "This Birchmere show delivered on incredible songs, along with the often side-splittingly hilarious stories behind them. It was a reminder that, as a singer-songwriter and a storyteller, Steve Earle continues to be one of the best we have."

Regarded as a "Renaissance Man" across culture, Earle has left an indelible mark on not only music, but also literature, film, theater, radio, and the world, at large. Just last month, he won Best Regional Roots Music Album at the 68th GRAMMY awards for A Tribute to the King of Zydeco, featuring his version "Just Like A Woman" with Anthony Dopsie. He stands out as a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, while the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music honored him during 2023. Not to mention, he remains a staunch and highly vocal advocate for individuals with autism, hosting and curating the annual John Henry's Friends Benefit Concert-in its 11th year as of 2025.

Stay tuned for more news and announcements from Steve Earle coming soon.
